AC Milan – Lazio Rome 31.08.2014

AC Milan – Lazio Rome – On Sunday we have a big derby in the first round of the Italian Serie A, and it is a duel between two old rivals Milan and Lazio. Otherwise, these two teams have had a very bad season, so it will be very interesting to see which team will in the next period better manage under the guidance of their new coach. Let us add that both of their last year’s duels ended with the same result 1-1. Begins: 31.08.2014 – 18:00 CET

Team News
Torino
Fabio Quagliarella will partner Alessio Cerci up front. The midfield will feature a number of new signings with Antonio Nocerino and Marco Benassi in the centre and Cristian Molinaro on the left flank.
Inter 
Rodrigo Palacio is not available due to an ankle injury, but the attack will be all-Argentinian anyway with Pablo Osvaldo and Mauro Icardi leading the line. Walter Mazzarri is likely to field a new signing in each area of his team: Nemanja Vidic will start in defence and Yann M'vila in midfield.

Genoa - Napoli
Last season, Napoli won 2-0 in Genoa, while the score was 1-1 at the San Paolo. Oh, and Goran Pandev scored the brace in the win. That was weird.
The match will start Sunday at 8:45 PM CET/2:45 PM EST. Television coverage will be on Premium Calcio 2 in Italy (what, Inter gets the good stuff?) and RAI International in the USA and Canada. You can also catch it on beIN Sports Connect if you get that channel) Other live viewing options can be found here, and as always, we'll have a match thread live here for discussion of the game at hand. You can also follow along with us live on Twitter.
